    Nonsense...parents that fill a fridge with soda pop and cupcakes are going to feed them to their kids, and it goes on....it's a culture and a choice no matter how many choose wisely or poorly, which is what these graphs show...they don't show apathy

    What happened in 1976-1980 to make the graph go way up?

    you fail to point out that that 80% is actually not food and with some smart shopping, you can go buy some brocolli

    100 years ago, 90% of people in the US lived on farms and grew their own broccoli. Social engineering led to less than 5%. They now trusted the government and got fucked.

    What happened in 1976-1980 to radically affect the obesity rates?

    Why 1976-1980 and not before?

    I don't see the sugar in there.

    That's nonsense. You've earned the name 'Deny' on this one, Deny. Your beloved free market sold you that sugar because there was profit it in, and you ate it because you had the freedom to choose to do so.

    The sugar is the fat on your fat ass.

    You clearly need economics lessons.

    It's not a free market if government is influencing it, regulating it, or otherwise fucking over the people.

    You got it backwards. People fucked, and that produced a lot of babies, and they grew up and needed to live somewhere. Social engineering? More like uncontrolled population growth.

    Well, whatever it was, it wasn't people moving from the farms to the cities. That happened a lot earlier than 1980.

    Sorry, my ass is pretty damn skinny. Guess the government didn't force me to eat all that sugar that they forced you to eat. It's sad the way they discriminated against you. You should sue.

    I got it right. The government fucked the people. Your social engineering experiment, more perfect society, fucked up.

    You must be really angry at TV because that's sold more crap to the public...probably in that seventies era even more....I'm old enough to have seen Dean Martin interview guests with scotch and cigarettes on prime time TV....TV governs public opinion way more than Washington DC

    DC governs what you are allowed to see on TV.

    I'm about the same age you are. So what?

    What changed in 1976-1980? McGovern. No coincidence.

    Prior, there was no trend of increasing (tripling!) of obesity rates.

    There had to be some magic thing that happened between 1976 and 1980. The graphs are all level before that. That indicates some magic thing happened to change the rate of obesity.

    Tobacco. I don't see any magic event in 1976-1980 that indicates they advertised differently.

    For Barfo's, "I don't see the sugar," benefit.

    http://www.rsc.org/Education/Teachers/Resources/cfb/carbohydrates.htm

    Carbohydrates (also called saccharides) are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides (e.g. glucose) and disaccharides (e.g. sucrose) are relatively small molecules. They are often called sugars.

    I guess you don't see the words 'Use Sparingly' on that chart, do you?
